HUFFY PRO THUNDER MAX - PORKCHOPPED!

[Rat Rod]

Snagged this cool Huffy F/F off of Smoopy last week in the For Sale section. I've always liked the Moosegoose, but they are way too expensive these days. Huffy made their version with similar geometry and some say it's even more rare than the Mongoose version.

I scrounged up some parts from the shed today and got it rolling. It's super comfortable and a hoot to ride. Will have to shoot some riding video tomorrow.

Riding pics please

I had a vision in my head for how I wanted this F/F built up and this isn't quite what I had in mind, but after digging through 6-7 giant tubs of spare parts, I built it up like this to make sure I'd like the way it rode.

A friend of mine actually had the old Skyways. They were seriously faded out, but I took some Liquid Wrench and a Scotchbrite pad and got them looking decent again. Thankfully the hubs were still in decent shape and the rear brake stopped great still.

I usually strive for visual balance when it comes to using the anodized parts. I plan to eventually get a blue quilted BMX seat, anodized blue chainring, blue rat trap pedals, a blue seat post clamp and maybe a blue vinyl V-bar snap pad.

Will that make the riding pics look better?

I always thought that style of frame was pretty cool.

Only by keeping one of my perfectionist eyes from twitching while riding.

At least those wheels make the valve stems always straight!

I love the chrome bmx frames and the mags are sweet!

Here's a lame riding video to give you an idea of what someone looks like riding it.

It seems that you either ride it, or you flip it. Didn't feel like busting my butt today so you won't see the later.

It's pretty fun to goof around on. I can't imagine doing any serious dirt racing on this thing.
